Hi. Is anyone else having trouble with ComCast?

I am.
One was a phone call from them saying I'd missed 3 months' payments
(untrue) & they were about to cancel my service. The next day, Sat.,
they sent me an eMail to confirm the changes I'd ordered to my account,
an upgrade which would raise my bill. That bit was also a news flash for me.
Now I hear they were Hacked on Saturday, & eveyone should change
their passwords.

Are all these errors due to their recent huge merger with Time Warner?
Or evidence that they need to charge us more without earning the
money? I'm guessing they totally don't know what they are doing
right now.

It's kinda hard to change providers out here in the boonies, but it can
be done. (sigh)

ETA 3/13 NM. I straightened 'em out.

OK. Been following the grim Oscar Pistorius trial. Shot his gf, Reeva, &
will be found guilty of murder or culpable homicide by a judge (no jury).

He has a good attorney. Dunno how good the prosecution is. However,
the lead investigator botched the case to start in mishandling of evidence,
so some of what they shoulda known, they don't.

With South Africa's super high homocide rate, cops must have a lotta ex-
perience with it, so why'd they pick this one to flub?

Also I took a dislike to Oscar and have little objectivity about it.

Yeah -- & how come he's so fast on blades? Lower weight have something
to do with it?

Obama awards Medal of Honor to 24 veterans, cites 'unimaginable' valor
http://www.latimes.com/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-medal-of-honor-obama-
20140318,0,1728129.story#axzz2wMfXSY8u

"Three living recipients - Santiago Jesse Erevia and Jose Rodela,
both from San Antonio, and Melvin Morris of Florida, all Vietnam
veterans dressed in uniform - and family members of posthumous
honorees took turns standing by Obama as a military officer read
aloud the citations. The citations described harrowing battle scenes.

"Their courage almost defies imagination," Obama said. "When you
read the records of these individuals, it's unimaginable the valor that
they displayed - running into bullets, charging machine-gun nests and
climbing aboard tanks and taking them out; covering their comrades
so they could make it to safety; holding back enemies, wave after
wave, even when the combat was hand-to-hand; manning their posts,
some to their very last breaths, so that their comrades might live."
...
... "The president singled out Florida resident Mitch Libman, who
was in attendance, for helping inspire the congressional-ordered
review by trying to find out for decades why his childhood friend
Pfc. Leonard M. Kravitz of Brooklyn, N.Y., who remained at his
machine gun in Korea until he was killed, never received the Medal
of Honor. Kravitz’s niece on Tuesday accepted it on behalf of her
uncle, who also was the uncle and namesake of rock musician and
actor Lenny Kravitz.

"The Medal of Honor has been awarded to more than 3,400 recipients
since it was established during the Civil War. The medal is bestowed
"only to the bravest of the brave," the Army said."

Quote G: a song, "you always hurt... the one you love... the one
you shouldn't hurt at all."

Odd. It was a Mills Brothers hit in 1944 when I was a toddler.
But it never went away, I guess, like a basic trope. Yes, the
Pistorius predicament brought the song back to my mind, too.

The loss of his legs. Wiki: "Although both of Pistorius' legs
were amputated below the knee when he was 11 months old,
he competes in events for single below-knee amputees and
for able-bodied athletes."

I see minimal trauma re deformity; when we were babies,
we didn't have expectations, didn't know what's normal.
But yes, he'd discover later that he was a freak.

OCD is also an "inborn deformity" perhaps, characterized by
hyperactivity in the orbital gyrus. The gyrus being a nerve
cluster behind the eye ball? I dunno. ... My impression is
that between the legs & the brain, he had a lot to cope with.
But I do not think he has a clue even yet.

He thought she was an intruder? BS! Even if he did, he was
too far out of line to expect any mercy. You don't shoot what
you can't see. He needs to cool off.

Not exactly. The Cat came home to a place he'd never been before ...
to be with his owner who'd moved there. Just a dumb coincidence -- Or

Stolen Gauguin painting found in Italian retiree's kitchen
http://uk.reuters.com/article/2014/04/02/uk-italy-gauguin-theft-idUKBR
EA311H620140402

A painting by French post-Impressionist Paul Gaugin that was stolen
in Britain in 1970 has turned up hanging in the kitchen of a retired
factory worker in Sicily, Italian police said on Wednesday.

With it was a second missing painting by Pierre Bonnard, another French
avant garde artist of the late 19th century ...

The Gauguin oil-on-canvas, whose value police estimated at 10 to 30
million euros, is very different from the colourful paintings of Tahitian
native women he produced after leaving Europe for Polynesia in the
1890s.

Oonj - did you catch any of Oscar P's testimony Monday, 7th? I was shock at how compelling I thought it was. Not "he's innocent" by any stretch, just very effective, certainly helped his case a great deal.
Also - I just found out that in this trial there is no jury, the judge is the sole arbiter.

I skimmed headlines about his testimony, but did not dig into it.

One thing seems contradictory. I read that in SA, if the defendant
testifies, then he is the 1st witness the defence calls. This is so
that he won't be influenced by others' testimony. Yet, I think the
defense did call someone ahead of Oscar.

There is no jury, but the Judge has 2 "assessors" to help out. I don't
know what they do, other than observe the whole trial ... the trial just
had a recess when one of them was ill.

Conspiracy Theory Poll, released 2 April 2013,
http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/main/2013/04/conspiracy-theory-poll
-results-.html

4% of voters say they believe “lizard people” control our societies
by gaining political power.

Excuse me! Don't they mean "Reptilians"?
I actually thought I recalled more than 4% have that opinion. But ...
if only 4% believe it, does that mean the Reptilians have excellent
control of most human minds?

Of course, it does!

To start a thread about Conspiracy Theories or at least, the ones
that came true ... a fun & potentially interesting topic, a lesson
in expectations, but would attract more than the usual pure BS.

Dreamtrove had one going well in 2006.
